JoyLouise I stopped to look at a cherry tree earlier, I do love the blossom so thankyou for the poem :-)

Rose, here’s one from my schooldays just for you. <3

Loveliest of trees, the Cherry now
Is hung with bloom along the bough
And stands about the woodland ride
Wearing white for Eastertide.

Good to see you back. :-)

Thankyou ArgyllGran :-)

Welcome back, Rose.
Doesn't time fly?!

Hello MotownGal and Von :-)

Good to see you Rose. :-)

Morning RR.

Nice to see you again. :-D

Hello LaGooner, Sylvia and Shirley, good to see you. ~~~~

Hello Rose

Nice to see you posting :-D

Welcome back, Rose. It's lovely to see you posting again.

We're all getting older aren't we?? I'm still wondering where all the years went. We celebrated our 55th last year, my daughter has been married for 24 years this year, and will turn 50 next year. Her son turned 13 and is almost taller than I am (just has about half-an-inch to go). How did all that happen????

We managed to make the Christmas trip over to our daughter's in Nova Scotia last December, had not seen any of them since the end of December 2019. No need to explain!!

There was a lot of snow here over Christmas while we were away, but then we had more in February. But the snowdrops arrived on time, and the Forsythia was early. The Magnolias are opening, as are the street Cherry trees.

So spring is definitely springing!

Welcome back Rose, I have an aged body but the mind of a 7 year old ;-) :-D

Hello namelessone, Ann, Linda and Just Ginnie ~~~~~

Linda when I look in the mirror I see my mum also, but she looked younger than I do when she was older than I am!

Ann we had several days of snow in March so I was surprised that the daffs recovered, the only things that really suffered were a couple of broken down conifer branches from the weight of snow, and the fuchsia which I have cut back and it does seem to be getting leaf buds now.

Lovely to see you posting Rose.

Welcome back Rose, it is good to see you posting again.

The years have been kind to me, I am fit as a fiddle with glowing youthful skin….. Well in my head anyway :-( :-( When I look in the mirror, I just look like my mother did, old and wrinkled

Rose, hallo, so good to see a post from you on here., I have seen you of course on face book but it is good to see you here.
Yes today was very spring like, beautiful sunshine here but still a bit nippy. The garden suffered with the very low temps in March so quite a few plants lost but the daffs looked good and the tulips are in bud. Nature has a way of catching up. I just have to put on a spurt to get my side of the gardening in order, a lot of tidying and chopping back to do. :-)

Good to see the Rose coming into bud again ;-)

Thankyou Florence, I will certainly pop in as often as I can.

I'm sorry that you have been so poorly.

At the very least working on trees does keep the brain ticking over and takes the mind off what one can't physically do. The more you find when searching it always leads to more questions I think, I'm not really any further back but I have gone sideways quite a bit lol.

The cat is sleeping half on the keyboard so I will have to go and do tea in the hope he will move when he hears plates.

Hello Rambling, lovely to see you on here. Gosh, when I joined over10 years ago, you were on here often then along with many others who are sadly no longer with us.

I started a thread called the" chit chat "thread awhile ago where various people pop in and out and natter about anything and everything lol.

I'm still beavering away with 7 family trees and have made much progress in 10 years but still many loose ends to tie up as always.

In the last 3 years, I've had heart surgery, 2 strokes and now am paralyzed in me left leg!! We never know what's around the corner do we?

Anyway me brain is still working, so that's my saviour.

Hope you will be popping in regular to chat. So lovely to see you back on here.

Florence in the hebrides

Thank you ZZzzz and Rose

Nice to see you Vera, congratulations on your Diamond anniversary , that's splendid. :-)
